What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

Not my daily hand of course. It's Kurrent, so suitable for Goethe's Faust:

 

This is awesome! Wirklich ganz wunderbar....

I've wanted to learn Kurrent / Sütterlin for ages but somehow never get around to actually sit down and do it...

My story exactly - until a year and a half ago, I've seen a Sütterlin sample here on FPN, and told myself: "You must learn it!".

If you want, I can find for you a link to a modern (2014) Kurrent guidebook, a downloadable PDF. It helped me a lot, and then I switched from the 1902 version of the script to a later, more elegant and user-friendly Offenbacher Kurrent, introduced by the great Rudolf Koch in 1927.

Since I love looking at other people's handwriting I thought I'd upload a pic of mine, too.

This is a page from my ink journal. I usually tend to write quick and my handwriting is probably not the neatest... but if you can't read anything at all it's probably because it's written in German :-D

I do these regularly so I can play with colours in my notebook

My "regular" handwriting kinda varies with the pace, the pen, and the occassion. I am currently working on making my franctic exam scrawl look more legible...

 

Love this. If you are going to write, a collage like this is a piece of art.

For sure the fine. I would even try the extra fine to see how it looks. But I'm biased, I like wet extra fine nibs with a bit of flex to get the best of all worlds. I think it is about the spacing. More space does make your writing look more stylistic and refined in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing! The green looks very nice and I really like the shading of this ink. Nice handwriting as well.

Here's a peak at my handwriting with an Aurora Optima F nib. Maybe I could have showed a bit more but some mystery is always best. Still practicing but trust me, it is much improved from a dire dire state from whence it began.

Beautiful handwriting.

 

Is that nib a fine italic – there seems to be a pleasant degree of variation in the line width.

 

Cheers,

David.

Nope. Just a regular fine. There just is a little bit of flex in the nib that lets me get that variation with some pressure applied.

Wow, the nibs can make a huge difference.

Thanks for letting us know. I admire you for having such control over the applied pressure – I don't seem to be able to release the pressure at the right moment, so kudos to you. I love variation in line width but I resort to left oblique italic nibs to achieve it (I am a nib rotator). Your writing is exquisite; thanks for posting the image.
